(IDI) for the procurement of furniture design services for the CFTC Headquarters Office in Washington, DC. The Government intends to procure this requirement under 41 U.S.C § 3304(a)(1), implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) – “…only one source reasonably available.” As the Architect of Record (AOR), IDI is a unique source for this service. IDI has developed all of the project design drawings from inception to construction, resulting in an extensive understanding of the Facility Design requirements. IDI has significant experience working on GSA lease projects and has been the AOR for multiple tenant improvements within Patriots Plaza 3 (PP3), resulting in significant knowledge of the GSA lease space. Without the knowledge of the space and the design requirements, CFTC’s furnishing of the space and relocation operations would be significantly impeded and there would be an increased risk to CFTC’s timely accomplishment of relocation activities. IDI is the only known source for this service with the knowledge of the design requirements and the GSA lease space and the CFTC is unaware of any alternative sources. CFTC intends to award a purchase order with a period of performance of one (1) year. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS nor a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 12:00pm ET, June 20, 2025. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish capability to fulfill the requirement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes for future Market Research requirements. No formal solicitation package is available. The Government anticipates award on or about July 15, 2025. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement. Responses to this announcement may be submitted to Tamara Jones at T_Jones@CFTC.gov by the deadline noted above. ## Publications - June 12, 2025: Special notice, due June 20, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT.
